Episode Synopsis "The true story behind "Education is my Passport" slogan tee"
Today we had a 1-to-1 with Thâmara who is the inspiration behind "Education is my Passport" tee. Her message couldn’t be more aligned with her story and you will learn why. She comes from very humble beginnings but I love how that didn’t dictate her future. Education was definitely crucial to her successful story. She told me about her early years of life in a remote and poor town in the north of Brazil and how her lifestyle was back then. We talked about her love for books and learning since she was little, how she learned English and French with very little resources and how to got into one of the best universities in Brazil - and now continuing her studies in France through a scholarship she got for 1 year in one of the top schools for political studies in the world. She didn’t have the money for visa or ticket but that wasn’t enough for her to give up. Her friends helped her with a crowdfunding campaign and more than 150 people contributed to make her dream come true. We also talked about how she is facing the world as a young black women and the misconception that comes with that. I hope you will enjoy this conversation as much as I do! Let's dive in :)
In God we trust
